MY TRIP TO N.Y 2/19/2007 8:23:00 AM Hello everyone! Wanted to update all of you on my hamstring......Friday was my first day officially back in action. Meaning I practiced without protecting my leg and went to the gym without thinking 'what can I do that won't hurt this'. It's still not perfect but so much better than last week. On top of that, when I got back from Tokyo I got some sort of viral infection, which the doctor told me I won't get better from, unless I take antibiotics. If you decide to go to a doctor in the States there's a very small chance you're walking out of there without a prescription for an antibiotic. My nose is still a running faucet and I think I developed two extra ab muscles that I never knew existed just by blowing my nose so much.....hey, at least there's a positive! (總之先報告一下傷勢，上週五是莎娃正式回到場上的第一天，意味著她總算不需要邊練習邊保護腿，在場上也不用想著“怎麼做才不會傷到咧 ” 的日子…。) My trip to N.Y was actually really fun! Anna Wintour and Amy Astley hosted a party for me at Cafe Cluny, and invited so many amazing designers. I met Vera Wang....who would have thought she is a tennis fanatic? We made a deal that she would design my wedding dress..... whenever that day would come of course. I told her let's take it a step at a time! (紐約之行見了許多知名設計師，碰上竟是網球迷的華裔設計師王薇薇，還約好說她會設計莎娃的結婚禮服…管它是啥時。) Why is it that whenever I go to N.Y, I come back with twice as much stuff as when I left home? Not only was my bag completely over-loaded, but I took up half of my friends. I bought this coat a few months ago that I knew I could never use when I'm in L.A but it's a girl's job to buy unnecessary objects right?. Ok so upon hearing that there was going to be a huge snow storm in N.Y, I can't tell you how excited I was about bringing this coat into action. To my disappointment it turned out to be too warm for Cali and way too cold for N.Y. How am I supposed to know what a snow storm feels like!! Oh wait I was born in Siberia! And on top of that I don't think Stella McCartney considered snow when she was making her boots...... after walking on what looked like ice but turned out to be water underneath, I found out that the boots were not exactly waterproof. But I can only blame myself because I don't remember them coming with a waterproof sticker. (這段就是…一個出生在西伯利亞卻不怎麼知道暴風雪的狀況亂買大衣以為總算派上用場但實際上沒用的女孩。xD) Snow flakes are usually so romantic but when you don't know how to put your feet down on the snow or when your boots are filled with water......it's not exactly a dream situation to be in ESPECIALLY during Valentine's Day! But other than that my V-day was pretty successful. I became a UNDP Ambassador, which is not only an amazing honor for me but for my family as well. You don't realize what a strong influence you can be to the world when you're growing up, but going to the UN headquarters and meeting with staff about future poverty programs that are going to save millions of people around the world makes me realize how lucky I really am. And coming back to your hotel room to find roses waiting for you adds to the occasion. (聯合國發展計畫親善大使的事，這對莎娃自己或者莎娃家都是莫大的榮譽。) The UNDP press conference was probably one of the most stressful things I have ever done in my career.....I was sweating profusely!! Let's just say it was not the usual 'how did you hit your forehand today' kind of deal. One reporter asked me something like....with all the wars and poverty happening around the world what changes do we, as humans, have to make? Where would you like to see the world end up? All of a sudden I didn't mind talking about my forehand. (不過記者會大概是莎娃遇過壓力最大的事了…那可不像被問今天正拍打的怎樣這種問題。有記者問了像是…“世界各地充滿戰亂、飢荒，我們身為人類能做什麼改變？”“想看世界在哪結束？”…莎娃說她突然間不介意談正拍了。xD) I was having B-fast with a friend the other day and I was telling her how I think it's pretty ridiculous when you're on a date and when the guy is adding the tip to the bill he rounds up the cents to the make the amount equal. So if the bill is $100.70 he adds $19.30 as a tip. I mean is the 30 cents really necessary?? A guy sitting next to us, who we now found out was listening to our whole conversation ( which is actually quite dangerous!! haha) asked me what's wrong with that? I was like how do you picture the waitress going to the register and taking coins out as part of her tip. He was like 'I actually never thought of that!'. I just think that's plain wrong! (莎娃的給小費談…看原文比較好玩:p。) I hope all you love birds enjoyed yourselves on V-day, and if you didn't .....I promise that holiday is sooo over-rated!
